Response time will vary with the nature of the call. You reported a suspicious condition, which is going to take a back burner to any actual robber, burglary, or shots fired calls they may already be working on. Next time if you really need a car, call it in as an actual burglary. When the cop determines they didn't actually enter, oh well, you swear he was breaking in!

As far as your neighbor is concerned, you need to have a talk with her about calling 911 first. You should also let everybody in your family to call 911 FIRST, then call you after if they can. Around here we had a girl who was abducted a while back. Instead of calling 911, she called her boyfriend from the trunk of the car. Needless to say the BF wasn't of much help, and she was killed. Call 911 first.
